GX550 Overtrail Vibration (6 Viewers)

Thanks for the tip. Does P+ have AVS? I realize this thread is titled OT, but seeing all the reports, I don't believe this issue is limited to OT features.

Could this be an issue with wheel bearings?

P+ does not. Sorry, didn’t catch that part.

Drove a brand new 2025 OT+ today. Compared to my 2024 OT there was zero difference in ride quality that I could discern. Overall pretty smooth outside of the small road imperfection stuff. Salesman even said “I don’t know why they sent us a Overtrail+. People test drive it and don’t like the ride because of the off-road tires”

I checked my washboard for AVS error codes and all was clean.

AVS error codes are only visible using Techstream or some similar scan tool. No error codes/lights will display on the dash for an AVS error.

Also, I believe when there is a fault code and/or the fuse is pulled, the AVS shocks default to their stiffest setting. Stiff beyond what is selectable using the mode selector dial.

That’s why the ‘24 OT+ with a faulty AVS sensor rode like it had wooden shocks. Every ripple in the road was transmitted into the cabin

On a different thread I recently wrote that I pulled the fuse for AVS (AVS-IGR) located in the passenger-side fusebox. There were no error messages and I thought the ride felt smoother. There was no "wooden shocks" sensation AFAICT. I currently have it out and am evaluating the ride quality for some future travels.

My 25 Ot drives harsh on sport plus but the ride is smooth ( not raptor level smooth ) on the hwy . My wife is sensitive about the ride and has always complained in my jeeps and broncos but she seems to find the ride very compliant here. If the vibration issue on some of the trucks are true I’m happy to lend my truck to a fellow owner for back to back comparison . It should be easy to diagnose from there

Suspension wise, I can’t a difference between the Modes.

OT+

If I don’t remember which setting I am in, I can’t tell them apart other than the fake noise and gearing changes.

All modes ride equally poor on the highway.

When I scanned the AVS module it was using a pro level scanner - can’t remember which brand, not mine.

No codes.

My 10,000 mile checkup is soon. I’m going to see if there’s anyway they can test to see if the AVS suspension actually works.
